Lanes

Lanes is a macOS desktop app that lets you run multiple AI coding agents in parallel, each in its own isolated git worktree. It integrates directly with the official CLIs of Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and others, so you keep your existing subscriptions and tooling. The app provides a visual board to organize issues, track session status, and orchestrate workflows across planning, implementation, and review stages. Lanes is designed for developers and teams who work on multiple tasks simultaneously and want to avoid context switching and merge conflicts. It pulls issues from GitHub, Linear, or any MCP-compatible source, auto-creates worktrees per task, and posts results back as PRs or comments. Each session runs in a real PTY terminal with your dotfiles, aliases, and configuration. Recent updates include a Databases Explorer (v0.42) that auto-discovers SQLite databases and runs read-only queries, support for multiple sessions on one issue (v0.41), Linear issue import (v0.40), and the ability to run Claude Fable 5 (v0.43). The app also includes a built-in Monaco editor, git diff viewer, dependency tracking, and an MCP server that lets one agent spawn others. Unlike typical AI coding IDEs, Lanes is not an all-in-one tool but a workspace orchestrator that leverages the CLIs you already pay for. Its isolation and parallelism approach is unique among AI coding assistants, though macOS-only and requiring comfort with git worktrees. During early access, the desktop app is free.
